Awell known Augusta liquor seller is
freely selling the intoxicant at his shop and
making no bones of it. The liquor, consist
ing of whiskev and ale, is imported direct
from England, twelve pint bottles in
lease. He recently went to that country and
made arrangements for importations. 1t
comes to the Portland custom house from
whence it is forwarded to Augusta as wanted.
Since Saturday this dealer has disposed of
fourteen cases here. The boxes are placed
IN the window of the shop duly labelled
''whiskey," and resting on one of them is one
of the bottles, empty, in which the liquor
comes. He now has over one thousand cases
on the way to Augusta. The law is such
that liquor in unbroken imported packages
can be sold with impunity. The minute the
package is opened, however, the owner Is
liable

The Future of Florida.

The Rev. j. f. Richmond, ID. D., read an
essay or the Future of Florida" before the
Eclectic Literary Society of Okahumpka,
Fla, lately, in which he dwelt upon the ad-
vantages she possessed, and the reasons for
his belief in her future growth and pros
perity.
The development of Florida was very
slow up to a few years ago. She had to
contend with such impeding forces as the
Indian war of 1912 and 1882 the war of
secession, and carpet-bag rule, so that, as
DR.. Richmond says she has had at this
time only about fifteen years of free de
velopment; but a great deal has been ac-
complished in that time, and the growth in
/ the next decade can be made phenomenal
| People wishing to secure home where they
will escape excessive heat and cold, and
where chronic diseases are less
will find Florida peculiarly adapted
to their demands. Especially is this true
along the peninsula, where on the one hand
the warmth of the Gulf stream renders
winter in a severe sense quite impossible,
and on the other hand the constant sea
breezeS alleviate the heat of summer. DIR.
| Richmond states that there is a minimum
OF such ills as rheumatism, neuralgia, ca
tarrh, asthma, bronchitis, diphtheria and
pulmonary consumption, and that where
| these diseases are found they are of a light
type HealthfulneSs is promoted by the ex-
istence of solid blocks of lime in the soil,
and by diet of fresh vegetables and fruits.
But DR.. Richmond touches upon another
important factor in Florida's future when
he mentions her industries. Orange culture
| is not the only field opened up to emigrants,
though it is one in which millions of dollars
have been and are yet being made. Florida
Her timber affords another great industry,
and the strongest hulls of American ships
are constructed from her live oaks, while
the cedars and other trees are being made
source of revenue. Her soil abounds in
vegetable humus, and the necessities of life
can be abundantly grown. The drainage
of the Okeechobee has redeemed many
thousand acres of land, much of which has
already been planted in sugar cane,
and Florida may yet super
sede Louisiana as syrup and
sugar producing State. Tobacco culture
will also reach great proportions. Key
West is sending out large quantities of CT
gars, and it is said that companies are being
formed in different parts of the State for
cultivating the weed. Several varieties of
tobacco are cultivated, viz: the Florida leaf,
the Connecticut seed leaf, the Havana and
the Virginia, and the net earnings per acre
are said to be as high as $50. The tobacco
industry is of great importance,
and opens up field in which
large sums of money may be coined. Grape
culture is another source of revenue men
toned by DR.. Richmond in his essay, and it
is well known that sea island cotton comes in
large quantities from that State. There is no
reason why Florida should not grow very
rapidly from this time. She has partially
overcome the impediments to her growth,
and there seems to be no end to her wonder
full resources, which are fast becoming
known by reason of the energy displayed in
their advertisement.

Mr.. Morrison,s Prediction.

Mr.. William r. Morrison does not appear
to be entirely satisfied with his position as
a member Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. AS the day for the meeting of
Congress approaches his dissatisfaction be-
comes more apparent. He would like to he
in Congress. He was never so happy as
when he was the recognized leader of the
House, and yet he had no particular quail
tications for that position. He couldn't
make speech that anybody cared to listen
to, and he was neither good organizer nor
a ready debater. He was looked upon,
however, as a man of sterling integrity and
good judgment.
He has been telling the Washington news
paper correspondents that the Democrats
are going to have pretty hard time to get
a tariff bill passed this winter. They will
have to encounter the opposition of Mr.. Ran
dali, and if the House finally succeeds in
sending tariff reduction bill to the Senate
that body, he thinks, will change it to suit
the Republicans and send it back to the
House, with the statement that the Demo-
Gratis must accept it or take the responsibility
Of a failure to reduce the revenues.
Mr.. Morrison is of the opinion that the
Republicans will finally insist upon the re-
peal of the tobacco tax and the removal of
the duty on sugar. There will not be prob
ably a great deal of opposition among
Democrats to a repeal of the tobacco
tax, but there will be to the
removal of the duty on sugar. The
sugar duty is almost wholly revenue duty,
and the probabilities are that its removal
would not benefit the people in the least.
When the duties on coffee and tea were
removed the prices of those articles did not
decline, and it is questionable if the removal
of the sugar duty will materially affect the
price of that article The exporting coun-
tries will, in all probability, impose an ex-
port tax upon it, and the S50,000,0O0 which
now goes into our Treasury will go into the
treasures of the countries from which we
import sugar.
The Republicans, however. are deter
mined to stand by the monopolies which are
the chief beggars for protective tariff,
and they will remove duty that is for rev.
enue sooner than reduce one that is for pro-
lection, because their aim is to guard the
monopolies 1t would not be surprising if
Mr. Morrison's prediction, that the Repub.
licans will offer as their ultimatum the re-
moval of the tobacco and sugar taxes, were
to prove to be correct.

Base Ball Deals.

! Newspapers which give considerable at
tention to sporting matters and sporting
| journals have been for some time announc-
ing the transfer and sale of prominent play
ers. Many people wonder when they read
| of the sale of some great player what is
meant by the term. 1t is not generally ap-
preciated that base ball deals are as a rule
| illegal, though there is unfortunatelyno one
| to protest against these transactions. To a
certain extent base ball players are slaves,
bought and sold by club managers at will,
and are practically unable to free them
selves from this servitude. They, therefore,
continue to play base ball for a living. The
| important base ball associations of the coun-
try have banded themselves together under
what is termed the national agree
men5 for the protection of each
others interests, and they have adopted
the most arbitrary rules that can be con-
structed. Once player signs contract to
play ball with one of these teams he becomes
part of the property of his employers, and
cannot secure position with another team
until he procures his release from his present
master. Not only does this rule hold good
for the season for which he has been ell
gagged, but for all other seasons. 1t has be-
come customary of late to sell noted players
for large sums of money Last year Kelly
was sold to Boston for $4,000, and
Clarkson will probably be pur-
chased by the same management this
year for $1,000. Bob Caruthers,
the great pitcher of the st. Louis Browns,
has also been sold, but Caruthers says he
won't be sold unless he can get part of the
purchase price-a very reasonable demand.
Some of the most glaring outrages ever per-
petrated have been carried on in base ball
circles, Notwithstanding the fact that the
club managers have no legal right to en-
force their arbitrary measures. 1t is to be
hoped that the Brotherhood of Ball Players,
organized last fall, will secure the support of
the public, and insist upon a complete
reformation of the system of conducting
base ball business.

Bold Robbery In 8 Drawing Room
From the Washinoto,l CopitaI.

From the Washington Capital
Young ladies in society sometimes do queer
things, but seldom does one venture on such a
remarkably bold line of action as one young
person did in this city while at a dinner party
not many moonb ago.
During a lull in the conversation she quietly
remarked to the young gentleman who took her
in to dinner. *
Let me see your pocketbook.' Not knowing
what to make of such peculiar request the
young man quietly produced his pocketbook
and handed it to her. She took it, calmly open
ed it, and took out roll Of bills amounting to
$500 all the money it contained.
Then saying to her victim, 81 will buy me
ring tomorrow, she as calmly handed back the
empty leather case to him and put the money in
her own pocket
The man preferred to lose the money rather
than to press his claim for it upon her relatives,
and submitted to what was simply piece of
barefaced robbery. But he won't escort that
young woman to another dinner table, even if he
lives to be as old as George Washington's ia
vorite body servant.

Hypocrisy of a Love Token.

Il have become hopeless cync from my
thirteen years experience as jewele :" said
the foreman OF a leading firm. 81 have learned
that SO much is tinsel that shines as gold that
can only look on the worlds spendor as elm
quaint hollow sham. Even when the genuine
glittering gold, plucked, from the bowels of
rich PotoSi and set with gems of purest ray
serene, adorps fair throat, or rounded arm, or
tapering finger, it only produces a sentiment of
scorn for the hypocrisy of human nature
Let me illustrate: 1t has been for some time
favorite fad with young men in society when
one becomes engaged TO present his fancee
with a jeweled bracelet, which the jeweler
rvets on the wrist so that it cannot be slipped
off. This is supposed to be a token of the
eternal bondage of the wearer to the donor and
a perpetual reminder of fidelity. But in day
or two the young lady receives note from the
ieweler requesting her to call. When she does
SO. she is shown a secret spring, whereby she
can put aside the bond at will. And have OBJ
served added the jeweer, that although the
fair lady protests against making use of the
spring, she is delighted to find the secret of it, -

The CrankS Who Make Life at the
White House a Burden
From the st. Louis Globe- DeDloc

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
The fellows most to be feared are the we'll
dressed, oily -tongued, who draw enough income
from somewhere to support themselves, and
who imagine that they own the earth and have
a first mortgage on the sun, moon and stars
Guteau belonged to this latter class He
wanted high position under the State Depart
ment, and used good and apparently sensible
language to convince Mr.. Blaine that he was en-
titled to the place. Failing in this, God ordered
him, so he said, to remove President Garfield,
which he did
w. lie at the White House Detective Kolb was
compelled to use great vigilance to keep the
wel-dreSsed, smooth-talking cranks from en-
tering. Their stories were plausible and
their appearance respectable. The fell
lows with weeks growth Of happy
hair and beard, and wearing clothing
faded by the storms of many seasons could be
driven away like an old woman 'shooing"
chickens in many instances. The former how.
ever, stood on their dignity, and it was fire.
quently necessary to use force to get them off
the Executive premises.
zone afternoon, during Gen Grants first
term, said Mr. Kolb, "a tall, stylishly dressed
man, about As years of age, came to the main
door and in a very dignifed manner demanded
to see the President. We informed him that
the President was not receiving that day. All
he rejoined with the utmost sang froid, Gen.
Grants always at home to Republican men,
bers of Congress 10 was during the session of
Congress, and believing that the caller was
what he represented himself to be- pointed
out the way 10 the reception-room upstairs.
He quickly disappeared up the yelvety stair
way, and we resumed our conversation. Pretty
soon there was a conimotion at the head of the
steps, and the usherup there sang out; Come
up here Kolb, quick I bounced upstairs
into Gen. Grant ssofttee, and there was the Con-
gresham sestculatins wildly. taking loudly,
and following the, President about the apart
ment in a very excited manner
THE President was as cool as q norther, but
there was an angry CLEAN out of his eyes Put
this fellow Quit! he commanded, imperatively
and as seized Mr.. Congressman he quietly re-
sumed his seat and continued his work as
though nothing had happened. After brief
struggle / got the fellow TO the head
of the stairs, and told him i would
throw him down if he did not go
peacefully. He went. II was several days be-
fore learned the true cause Of the disturbance
In the meantime the President rebuked me for
not being more careful who admitted into the
building"
